It is a great cause and lets face it, IV is the ONLY organization of the legal immigrants, by the legal immigrants, AND FOR the legal immigrants ONLY.

Since on 2nd July they said they will reject the AOS application, what if they would have done some rejection during that time, and by the time July filers get their application back, it is after 17th of August. In that circumstance, can you send the AOS application back arguing USCIS's mistake and ask them to take it back after 08/17 and would they take it back politely or reject it again.

I am in a similar situation, not a lawyer, but worried about my children's future and trying to do what we can to help everyone with the same issue. Can you provide details of the changes in cspa that you have proposed? CSPA and Dream Act are two channels that may benefit our children. If I can understand what your efforts are in respect of CSPA, we can figure out what we can do.

Any assistance you can give to help legal age out children would be fantastic I sent an e-mail to Weldon's office for an update today as we are waiting to hear if he will use our legislation and get a co sponsor to amend the cspa

Not everybody on this forum earns 144,000 a year. What world are you living in my friend? Do you not get out that often?

I agree.

Many of the military families affected only earn $25,000. I find it repugnant when someone shows how little he cares about his fellow human beings.

Please pay attention to section (3) Priority Date Based on Earlier Petition on page 28 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If an alien is the beneficiary of two (or more) approved employment-based immigrant visa petitions, the priority of the earlier petition may be applied to all subsequently-filed employment-based petitions. For example: Company A files a labor certification request on behalf of an alien ("Joe") as a janitor on January 10, 2003. The DOL issues the certification on March 20, 2003. Company A later files, and USCIS approves, a relating I-140 visa petition under the EB-3 category. On July 15, 2003, Joe files a second I-140 visa petition in his own behalf as a rocket scientist under the EB-1 category, which USCIS approves. Joe is entitled to use the January 10, 2003, priority date to apply for adjustment under either the EB-1 or the EB-3 classification. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I suggest, you talk to an attorney before using words like illegal. It may be unfair, but still be legal.

The unbelievable growth in India made me explore a bit in terms of investments, ended up with the financial advise and recommendation from experts that we cannot directly invest in equity as an NRI. Only investment allowed it seems, for NRI is in real estate. Not sure whether this is true. There holds the surprise I could not add up the numbers in real-estate in India. Real estate in India is darn expensive even by international standards (with per capita GDP of $700->$2500 per annum).

Flats in Indian hub cities: 2-bedroom, 1000 sq ft apartment for average $200,000-$300,000 and above. (www.99acres.com) Condos in most major metros in USA: 2-bedroom, 1000 sq ft average $200,000-$300,000 (google housing)

Given that, median income in US is 50 times more than India. I thought the Indian cities are up in bubble. Next, look at agricultural land prices.

Agricultural land in Northern part of India is average $50000 - $250,000 per acre (www. 99acres.com) where in east, west and south is about $20000-$200,000. In Villages its about $15000 to $50000 per acre.

Agricultural land in US is in the range of $6000-$15000 per acre. ($12,000 per acre in NJ, $6,000 per acre in California and $8,000 per acre in Florida. From USDA website)

Now You can do the math. Commercial land is even more expensive in india.

The reason, people say, population density. Now lets look at this factor, the density in India is much higher than USA. But, compare to NJ, NJ is actually slightly more densely populated than most states in India. Real estate is regulated by government in India that prevents easy buying and selling and land survey records are not properly maintained which makes it easy to bump up the price.

Can someone explain to me how in the world, the farmers in India who make less than $1000 per annum continue to own land that is valued at several $100K? How many can afford a home in that country?

Is this what economic experts call "bubble"? I believe there needs to be a correction in the market in India to avoid a disaster.

I filed my 485 on July 2nd @ NSC and my checks got cleared yesterday (8/11/07). So as per murthy's coment I tried looking @ back of the checks to get my LIN #'s and I was able to trace it in the USCIS web site and it shows "Application received and the Receipt notice mailed".

So I feel like they are aggressively working on the applications which are filed on July 2nd and hopefully everyone will get their Receipt notice by end of this week.

This thread should be sticky as that will encourage others to do the same. I am wondering why there is no such guidelines from core so far but then I think core is just one of us like pcs who takes the initiatives.

Nice job pcs.

hey gc_on_demand, dun get him out of his day dream dude, he already lost all his investments in stocks and now you are asking he $25... come on if he wakes up he will be back in depression... and then where will I get the masala on IV for timepass. My server is really slow.. when its processing I need something to kill time.;)

Do any of you know and if so could you please clarify what this new memo is about and how it especially affects the EB2 category ? Does this now mean that for a non-advanced degree holder the qualification needed for EB2 is Bachelors+10 years of ex. ? If this is true it's really messed up for all the EB3's hoping to port to EB2 based on experience.

Thanks.

Thank you 'lazycis' for reconfirming this. Just 2 weeks back I used to think that keep working on H1B is lot safer than using EAD :o

H1B petition can be revoked automatically if a) employer notifies USCIS that the petition is withdrawn or b) employer goes out of business. See 8 CFR 214.2.(b)(11). So yes, EAD is much safer in this regard. Revoked H1B petition cannot be used for transfer/extension. It's nice to have H1B as a fallback, but it's not a safe heaven. Here is an interesting article regarding H1B and employer's obligation to notify the USCIS if employment ends. http://www.chincurtis.com/pdfs/ccid_1_033007-1.pdf
